Jade Alyse Writes

I know that it's chilly where you are, and you're looking for a nice book to snuggle up with.

Sound about right? I figured.

I've received a couple of messages on my Facebook page, asking me when my next book The Great Trees Fallwill be released, and if it will be released sooner than March 9th (yes, that March 9th in 2015). I would love to say that the book was ready for release now, but it isn't, and I sincerely appreciate everyone's patience as I finalize this project. Believe or not, March will be here in the blink of an eye.

Think about it this way: the holidays are here and the end of the year is right around the corner.

With that being said, I want to thank each and every one of you who've reached out to me expressing your anticipation for the next book. I'm just as excited as you are!

March 9, 2015, is still the release date for the book, and I don't expect it to change.

In the meantime, I'll be sure to post another snippet, and if you have any questions or concerns, please, do not hesitate to reach out to me. I'll try to get to your inquiry as soon as humanly possible.

As most of you know already, my latest project The Great Trees Fall did not come out on September 10th. If you don’t know why, here’s my reasoning.

With that being said, however, many of you have been waiting ever-so-patiently for a new release date. I’ve promised you so many times. I’ve even posted a couple of snippets to tease you.

While the date you see above seems ridiculously far out, and inconceivable, it suits me just fine. This book is being dedicated to the 4 most important women in my life: my mama, my maternal grandmother (you remember Natalie’s grandma Marie Chandler…welp!), my baby sister, and my late aunt (who actually passed away on March 9, 2013). This final book in the When You Come to Me series is more than concluding Brandon and Natalie’s tale. It’s about the bounty of tough choices women have to make throughout their lives: whether it be our careers, our men, and something as difficult as when we should opt to use our hearts over our good sense. It’s about self-discovery and finding peace after difficult chapters in our lives, and where we should seek comfort, and how we solidify our strength.

The date not only commemorates my late aunt, but her literary influence on my life, as well as the other women who give me strength and life daily.

Have no fear, readers. This date is staying, no matter what my life brings!

I thank each of you for sticking with me, and sharing your own stories with me.

I’m in a good place right now. My direction for this latest project has been re-invigorated, and I’m writing like crazy. For all your patience and kind words, I not only thank you, but I’ll share a chapter with you. Take a gander.

Since September 10th, has come and gone, I've gotten a few emails from people notifying me that they can't locate the book on any book distributor's website. There's a reason for that, which can be found here.

To put it simply, this year came so quickly, and so much occurred. This summer alone, I was able to live in London, I managed to fall in love, and I vacationed in the Bahamas, all while maintaining a full-time job, which, consequently, did not involve writing this novel.

I sincerely appreciate all of those loyal readers who have reached out to me to check on the progress of the book. But it wasn't at a place that I felt comfortable sharing with you all. So, I made the tough decision to delay the release and focus on making the book truly what I think it should be. Brandon and Natalie deserve the best type of conclusion to their story, and I want to devote the time to giving it to them. With that being said, I will release a new date for the book soon. It is my hope that when it's finally released, you'll understand why I wanted to devote as much time, heart, and attention to the project as possible.
